Hey babes! One of the questions I get asked the most is what my favorite makeup products are, what I use daily, etc, so today I decided to share my everyday makeup routine with you. This look only takes me about 15 minutes, sometimes even less, since I have been doing it a while.

 

Face-
Lets start with moisturizers & primers. I use First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration every single night before bed. This is my all time favorite moisturizer and leaves my skin feeling so hydrated. Some mornings when my skin looks dryer than usual, I apply a small amount before applying my foundation. For primers I switch it up, some days I apply primer others I don’t. The days that I do apply primer I use Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser. However, I don’t apply all over my entire face, only on the middle of my forehead and nose. One more primer that I LOVE I received as a sample from an order with Nordstrom. It is the Hourglass Ambient Light Correcting Primer in the shade Mood Light. This primer is a game changer- it is infused with light correcting pigments that act as a first filter to neutralize, brighten, and soften light. It blurs imperfections and smooths the skin’s texture for flawless makeup application. I will be purchasing the full size!

My favorite foundation that I use almost daily is Estee Lauder Double Wear. This is a foundation that lasts all day without having to touch up. It creates the prettiest finish. An inexpensive foundation that I also like is L’Oreal True Match. This offers a very build able coverage, I use this typically on weekdays. I apply this with my beauty blender or using my brushes from My Makeup Brush Set.

Next I apply Mac Pro Longwear Concealer in shade NC20 to my under-eye area, this is the only place I apply it to and a little goes a LONG way. I apply this is a upside down triangle and blend with the top of my beauty blender. This is my favorite under eye concealer because it doesn’t crease and last all day without looking cakey. I then apply MAC shaping powder in shade emphasize, this sets the concealer + adds brightness.

Then I apply my bronzer & blush. I have been switching up the bronzers lately. Currently I am using a contour shade from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit – I just haven’t found a bronzer that I absolutely love. (If you have any recommendations please send them my way!) Some days I wear blush- in the photo above I am wearing  It Cosmetics CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in shade Je Ne Sais Quoi. It is the perfect color and would look good on any skin tone. 

Normally, I would move onto filling in my brows but they are micro-bladed so I usually don’t apply any product. But my all time favorite product to fill in my brows is the Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil from It Cosmetics. I cannot say enough good things about this product. The way that this applies is amazing, it goes on so smooth and you don’t have to push so hard to see barely any product like most eyebrow products. This product gives the most natural finish and it is a universal color. I was skeptical about that at first but believe me it blends with your eyebrow hairs SO well.

Before I apply my highlighter I use Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder to set my makeup and to prevent oiliness throughout the day. My favorite highlighter is BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector- Champagne Pop by Jaclyn Hill. I also really love Vivid Baked Highlighters by Makeup Revolution. I have it in the shade Radiant Lights and have had it for over a year and still haven’t hit pan AND it is only $6.

Eyes-
For my eyes I like to keep it simple for everyday. I use Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette by Kat Von D. I use the shade Solas (espresso brown) all over my lid & use Sytry (chocolate brown) directly underneath my bottom lashes. This eye shadow is so pigmented and lasts all day.

For my eyeliner I use L’Oreal Infallible Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner. I prefer the cat eye and this liner is perfect for creating it. The eyeliner lasts all day and doesn’t fade, it is my favorite!

My favorite mascara is L’Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara and is the one I wear daily. It makes me lashes super long and doesn’t flake. I wear Ardell Double Up #206 Lashes all most every day. They are so quick and super easy.

Lips-
The days I wear lipstick I wear MAC Creme Cup with Mac liner in shade Whirl.. This is my go to lip combo and the one I am wearing in almost every picture.

Once I am completely finished with my makeup I spray on Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup spray. This keeps my makeup in place all day.

I hope this is helpful for you and answers most of your questions. Feel free to ask me any other questions that I didn’t address here. Have a good weekend!
